One of the things that happens to us as we age is our skin tends to dry out. If we are in arid or very dry climates, it tends to be worse. My suggestion is that you use a good moisturizer that contains humectants and either stearyl or cetearyl alcohol to give your skin the most moisture you can.
The best time to apply the lotion is right after you shower. Don't completely dry the skin, leave it a little bit damp. Then as you apply the lotion you are give the skin a little extra moisture. This will help keep the cells healthy and give your skin a soft appearance.
In the aging process, the keratin level in the skin drys out. As this happens, you will see the eruption of the keratin. It will appear as a light brownish spot that is raised and has kind of a firm or hard crust. There are usually many of these on the body. They should be looked at by a health care professional to be sure they are not cancerous lesions. Most likely they are what we call keratoses and it's just that keratin level eruption on the skin surface. They usually don't go away once you have them, but you can help prevent them with the application of lotion at least 2-3 times a day to keep the skin well moisturized.
